Works? Day 203/365

If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about-but not before God. What does scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness. 

Romans 4:2-3

Therefore it is not your works that make you righteous..

..but your belief!

Mr. Me

Hey! Day 202/365

I got reprimanded by the doctor today..apparently if you have had flu you shouldn't push yourself physically for a week after the symptoms have stopped. You can even die from this! So no trail run for me! Colds are distinguishable from flu by the area affected by the virus. Influenza will tend to affect your whole body (Muscles, sinuses, etc.) a cold is normally just a runny nose and a cough! Apparently that is a good thing to know, according to Dr. Bruni!

Mr. Me

Bang..gone! Day 201/365

Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.

Mr. Me

"You People Are Strange!" Day 199/365

This is what the Lord says: 

"What fault did your ancestors find in me,that they strayed so far from me? The followed worthless idols and became worthless themselves. 

Jeremiah 2:4-5

Why turn from someone who has given you so much, has so much more to give you, and loves you so much?

Hebrews 4:13 

Mr. Me

Violin: Day 195/365

The crown has fallen from our head. Woe to us, for we have sinned! 

Lamentations 5:16

You kick yourself out of your inheritance...

James 4:2

Mr. Me

Masked? Day 178/365

On the contrary, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel. We are not trying to please people but God, who tests our hearts. You know we never used flattery, nor did we put on a mask to cover up greed - God is our witness. We were not looking for praise from people, not  from you or anyone else, even though as apostles of Christ we could have asserted our authority.
1 Thessalonians 2:4-6

Mr. Me

Side light: Day 177/365

Just a random one I took.

Mr. Me

Hold Your Tongue! 176/465

All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind, but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil full of poison. 

James 3:7-8

Angus Buchan said we should stop working for the devil by talking negatively..

Mr. Me

Tempted? Day 175/365

For those such as Bernice and Sbonelo I (as a metaphor of Christ) am stopping me from walking off the path... 

Mr. Me

For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him. 

Luke 20:38

Mr. Me

Why? Day 176/365

I took this yesterday in exasperation about the salespeople at the mall..surely they are meant to make you buy their goods and come back? They just scare me away!!

Mr. Me

Bonsai: Day 175/365

Freedom? Day 169/365

It's freedom day. So I was thinking how many other people aren't free, you know being in the bondage of sin. We are free, however we can still lug around baggage! Do you carry unnecessary baggage?

Mr. Me

Remember: Day 168/365

Dear friends, this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders to stimulate wholesome thinking. I want you to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the commands given by our Lord and Savior through your apostles.

2 Peter 3:1-3

Mr. Me

Focus: Day 166/365

Mr. Me

Wash them! Day 165/365

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist he devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn, and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. 

James 4:7-10

Mr. Me

Mr. Me

Don't blab! Day 160/365

Do not let your mouth lead you into sin. And do not protest to the temple messenger, "My vow was a mistake." Why should God be angry at what you say and destroy the work of your hands? Much dreaming and many words are meaningless. Therefore fear God 

Ecclesiastes 5:6-7

And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hare white or black. All you need to say is simply 'Yes' or 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one. 

Mathew 5:36-37

Mr. Me

Ninja..ish Day 159/365

A bit similar to the day before but different!

Been playing around with various flash filters.

Mr. Me

(Very little editing was used..none was used to create the blue tint!)

Save? YAH! Day 158/365

For if God spared not the angels that sinned  but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an example unto those that should live ungodly lives afterwards; And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished. 

2 Peter 2:4-9

Mr. Me

(P.S. I am being saved!)

(This was taken yesterday)

What Comes Out: Day 149/365
